Hi Rackorf ... that's funny. I got the exact same junk comment as you (#1 in my current entry).
Now what kind of plant is that? It looks like it would be overloaded with a massive termite colony or something revolting like that.
Hi Arcturus,
This is an Xanthorea Grandis, Commonly, and apparently politically incorrectly, called a blackboy. (we are all meant to call them grasstrees now)
Anyway, blackboys - called that because they have long spears grow out the top when they flower and in siluette sometimes bear a passimg resemblance and especially now becuase we are not meant to call them that- are extremely slow growing - about an inch every one hundred years - one this size, well over seven foot, would be quite old. Some times they can be fourteen or more feet high with multiple heads on them.
Lots of things live in them including little possums - mostly insects and especially bushticks. They are not really affected so much by termites.
They are a valuable plant however as they provide fire, shelter and food - both from the flower spike necter and from the heart at the base of the fronds (it kills them if you take the heart).
Dead plants have a hollow stem usually filled with a tight compost type vegetable matter, this is where the bardie grubs live (you might call them whichetty grubs) - more tucker- not bad when cooked. A house, a fire and a feed - not bad. :)
Interesting! But wait...did I read something about cooked grubs?!?!
Lightly grilled over the coals and served with a side dish of whatever else you can find :)
